I always thought the 900s with snow tires were great and the same for the 9000. The tires do make a difference and I think Nokian tires are the best, with studs if you get a lot of snow and they are permissible where you live. Maybe the 9-5 with snow tires isn’t quite as good but has the advantage of traction control and antilock brakes. I wonder if horsepower could be a reason the 9-5 might not seem as good in the snow? After all, my 9-5s have more than twice the horsepower of my non-turbo 900s and 9000. The traction control needs to engage when the wheels start to lose traction which happens more often with the engine torque of the 9-5s. Either that or I’m just nostalgic for the old 900s and 9000s. I don’t think anyone who still has a 900 or 9000 takes them out in the snow and salt to reminisce.
